Bønder sine økser brynte Farmers their axes sharpened
hvor en hær dro frem, as the army came,
Tordenskiold langs kysten lynte, Tordenskiold around the coastline thundered
så den lystes hjem. so that we could see it back home.
Kvinner selv stod opp og strede Even women stood up and fought
som de vare menn; as if they were men;
andre kunne bare grede, others could only cry
men det kom igjen! but that soon would end!

Visstnok var vi ikke mange, Sure, we were not many
men vi strakk dog til, but we were enough,
da vi prøvdes noen gange, when they challenged us
og det stod på spill; and it was at stake;
ti vi heller landet brente we rather let our country burn
enn det kom til fall; than be defeated;
husker bare hva som hendte just remember what happened
ned på Fredrikshald! at Fredrikshald!

Hårde tider har vi døyet, Hard times we have coped with,
ble til sist forstøtt; were at last disowned;
men i verste nød blåøyet but in the worst suffer, blue-eyed
frihet ble oss født. freedom was to us born.
Det gav faderkraft å bære It gave (us) father's strength to carry
hungersnød og krig, famine and war,
det gav døden selv sin ære - it gave death itself its honour -
og det gav forlik. and it gave compromise.
